Yeah, the major manufacturers iradiate flour these days. It improves there shelf life and allows them to leave it in backstock a lot longer.

Last I heard it was something like $3K a kilogram to get a ride on falcon. Compared to their cost overall for each unit it’s pennies.

We used to shield the hell out of everything, but we’ve gotten away from that in recent decades. We’re getting particularly good at generating only the frequencies we need.

I’m thinking that they made a last minute business decision to push the amplifiers too hard, or maybe they decided not to update the tech and just push it harder.

There’s no way they didn’t run basic testing on the hardware to make sure that it was putting out appropriate frequencies.

Well it certainly sounds like they can do a better job It only using the intended frequencies. I wonder if they’re cheaping out on hardware doesn’t seem like their MO.

If they’re still using the same frequency bands as before, would this really have a much greater impact? I would think that, for radio astronomy, even a small amount of radio interference could make those bands unusable. A one-watt signal from 100 miles away would have the same effect as a six-watt signal, easily overwhelming the faint signals we’re detecting from light years away.

It doesn’t help that they basically refused to flesh out her character like there was some sort of overarching secret that was going to make it totally worth it. They kind of screwed up the algorithm, like in lost you can have mystery building mystery but you need to give away decent hints on the way through and through no fault of her own her character was just kind of bland.

Screw that You’re all great everybody from slackware to steam deck.

Yeah between the forced binding arbitration and their claims to wanting to start pre-roll ads, Roku is dead to me, I will never buy another device from them nor recommend them to anyone.

Yeah you can’t tell anybody on this site that you pulled some data from AI. Even if you followed the link and found the actual report and the numbers matched up you’ll still get down voted into oblivion.

The mass layoffs are definitely pure greed. At one point they served a purpose of ebb and flow and separating the wheat from the chaff, but things aren’t that healthy anymore.

Crunch time was great when it came with the bonuses and liberal vacation.

But now, anything that’s worth a damn gets bought up into large public companies who need to satisfy shareholders. Even the private stuff is still subject to the whims of the executives. There are still some good places to land out there but they’re slowly getting trashed over time.

Yes this meme is dated. You can run proprietary stuff in bookworm with just a couple of check boxes.

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) discovered a distant galaxy, JADES-GS-z13-1-LA, that emits a type of light called the Lyman-α emission line. This light is usually blocked by the intergalactic medium (the space between galaxies) and has never been seen from a galaxy this early in the universe’s history, just 326 million years after the Big Bang

This discovery is puzzling because it challenges our understanding of how light travels through space and how early galaxies formed. Scientists are now trying to figure out why this galaxy’s light isn’t blocked like others.

We’re essentially seeing hydrogen in a galaxy that is technically too young to have it.

I played heavily back in the day I don’t think the money was ever really the problem It was the time. When I finally settled down and had a family I had to stop. $15 a month for service and $50 every 2 years for DLC isn’t really all that much money If you consider 60 hours a week of entertainment for that price a deal. If you are that close to the edge you’re going to be on the edge anyway.

Yeah, I know. It’s just Sunday morning and I’m feeling cheeky.

I’ve been living that for years

Well not worth thousands of dollars Taylor Swift is a objectively different show than Elvis Presley was.

There was some decoration on stage Presley came out he was the bee’s knees everyone wanted to see him, but you were paying to see him and for his roadies toship, roll out and hook up his gear.

It probably cost $100,000 in labor just to haul Swift’s stage out and build it an arena. They probably need the arena for a week before the concert starts.

I’m not saying her stuff is worth $1,000 a ticket we should get economy at scale for that number of people. But it’s probably worth 300-500.

Unless you’re doing the insane level of football field sized stages with embedded screens and catapults, your average couple hour show at your average decent size venue really should realistic beatly be in the $100 to $200 range, You’ve got to pay the artist You’ve got to pay their crew and while the ticketing system does deserve to make some money on it, they shouldn’t be getting absolutely still filthy stinking lobbying rich off of it.

I think I’m going to have to wait for PBS space to cover this one…

Yeah I’ve been using Linux for a very long time. The amount of time I’ve spent on the case being incorrect is non-trivial. I’ve gotten better at not screwing it up throughout the years but the sum of advantages is far outweighed by the sum of debugging time spent.

It sucked when Crashplan’s home client went under. If you installed the client on two computers with internet access, it would let you set the remote computer as a target. Encryption was done at the source, it had dedupe, versioning. It ate a little ram but it was really nice.

Yep, I tried Tailscale at home… 3 weeks later I started using it at work, so insanely easy.

Test out that Nix, Mine refused to let me install from it when I just shoved their iso in Ventoy.

Someone got a hackintosh running from ventoy on specific hardware
